Woman in a War 
Fred Smith
BmI was working up in Kabul In the last years of the war
AKhasi had decide he didn’t love us any moreBm  
BmThe town was full of checkpoints and Security companies
AAnd everyone with money had an exit strategyBm  
BmShe came in in December to work the state
AShe was on a second posting across form KuwaitBm  
BmI met her at a briefing down at I SEF H Q
ASome Colonel was pretending that he knew what to doBm  
BmThere’s nothing quite as sexy as a woman in a war
AA delicate reminder of what we’re fighting forBm  
BmShe said the word ‘kenetic’ like she’d seen it for real
AShe was her daddies daughter with her daddies idealsBm  
But she said:
Em“ Pay no heed to what they say Bm  
ANotice only what they doBm…...”
BmThere’s nothing quite as horny as a woman in a war
AThe sugared instant coffee the adrenalin and moreBm  
BmThere’s nothing like the hunger for some softness in the night
AWhen you wake up every morning with a war to fightBm  
Still she’d say: Refrain
BmA couple of months later in a dutton covered bar
AWe’d been on a trip together with the General in MazahBm  
BmWe got talking about the problems of the ANSF
AIt was getting late and the others all had leftBm  
BmI came a little closer two of us were left
AWe could die tomorrow tonight ..I need you for my bedBm  
BmBack in my hooch I got a bottle of Jack
AMy dick was claiming victory like Bush in IraqBm  
And she said:
Bm“I’ve enjoyed our conversation and your offer is bold
AYour loquacious admiration of the problems you can’t solveBm  
BmBut these are not your problems this is not your war
AYou only really come here because you were boredBm  
Bm“So go back to your family and your ordinary lives
AYour ordinary children and your ordinary wifeBm  
BmI’m not your mother your virgin or whore
ASimply a survivor of a woman in a war”Bm  
Bm, Em, A, Bm, Bm, Em, E7  
BmI was workin up in Kabul in the last year of the war

Woman in a War

Fred Smith

I was working up in Kabul In the last years of the war

A Bm

Khasi had decide he didn’t love us any more

The town was full of checkpoints and Security companies

A Bm

And everyone with money had an exit strategy

She came in in December to work the state

A Bm

She was on a second posting across form Kuwait

I met her at a briefing down at I SEF H Q

A Bm

Some Colonel was pretending that he knew what to do

There’s nothing quite as sexy as a woman in a war

A Bm

A delicate reminder of what we’re fighting for

She said the word ‘kenetic’ like she’d seen it for real

A Bm

She was her daddies daughter with her daddies ideals

But she said:

Em Bm

“ Pay no heed to what they say

A Bm

Notice only what they do…...”

There’s nothing quite as horny as a woman in a war

A Bm

The sugared instant coffee the adrenalin and more

There’s nothing like the hunger for some softness in the night

A Bm

When you wake up every morning with a war to fight

Still she’d say: Refrain

A couple of months later in a dutton covered bar

A Bm

We’d been on a trip together with the General in Mazah

We got talking about the problems of the ANSF

A Bm

It was getting late and the others all had left

I came a little closer two of us were left

A Bm

We could die tomorrow tonight ..I need you for my bed

Back in my hooch I got a bottle of Jack

A Bm

My dick was claiming victory like Bush in Iraq

And she said:

“I’ve enjoyed our conversation and your offer is bold

A Bm

Your loquacious admiration of the problems you can’t solve

But these are not your problems this is not your war

A Bm

You only really come here because you were bored

“So go back to your family and your ordinary lives

A Bm

Your ordinary children and your ordinary wife

I’m not your mother your virgin or whore

A Bm

Simply a survivor of a woman in a war”

Bm Em A Bm Bm Em E7
